Following I'p Measles. —State Health
officials are following with close in- ,
terest the numerous reports of out- |
breaks of measles anil grip and the
unusual after effects of these two dis- !
eases which are constantly being heard
of. The measles outbreaks have been
notably severe in several cities of the
State and it Is believed the total for
the month of February will run very
high. Reports of ear troubles follow
ing grip are numerous.
Tlio J'lnanelal Reports. —• Consid
erable stir has been created on Capitol
Hill by the request of the new State;
Economy and Efficiency Commission
in calling on each department for a
statement of its expenditures at the
close of each month showing how
much was spent for salaries, traveling
and other expenses and the authority
therefor. It Is believed that studies of
conditions in the State government can
be considerably advanced by this in- <
formation and the amounts expended
for traveling and contingent expenses
more rapidly ascertained.

; kind ever made by a State commission.
i The civil service feature Is attracting
| much attention here, as several times 1
I last winter pleas were made before
i legislative committees for enactment i
lof a State civil service board. Under i
the report the State Board of Public
Grounds and Buildings would have au
thority over licensing of engineers
through a bureau. The Governor,
Auditor General and State Treasurer
constitute this board.
